## Tips

- The amount of seasoning can be adjusted to personal taste. If you do not like wasabi, you can omit it.
- The flavor is best after the wood ear mushrooms cool and absorb the seasoning. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- The wood ear mushrooms must be thoroughly cooked, but do not overcook them to maintain a crisp texture.
